Posted Sunday, May 04, 2025 by PA
Bradford clinched automatic promotion to League One after a dramatic 1-0 win over Fleetwood.
The Yorkshire side looked set for the play-offs after Walsall had beaten Crewe.
But Antoni Sarcevic scored a deflected winner in the sixth minute of added time to spark two pitch invasions before the final whistle.
Bradford made the early running as expected but the first big chance fell to Fleetwood after 24 minutes.
Mark Helm and Owen Devonport combined to set up Matty Virtue 10 yards out but keeper Sam Walker came to the home side’s rescue with a fine save.
Brad Halliday shot over the bar for Bradford and Alex Pattison volleyed into the ground and straight at Jay Lynch.
The Fleetwood keeper denied Calum Kavanagh just before half-time with a close-range block to tip the striker’s header against the bar.
Bradford struggled to get going in the second half as the anxiety grew in the home crowd.
Jack Shepherd hit a post before Sarcevic struck from close range to earn his sixth promotion from League Two.
